Everglades teacher resigns amid probe of Facebook sexting

An Everglades High School teacher has resigned after an investigation revealed he sent flirtatious and sexually explicit Facebook messages to one of his students.

Frank Borzen, 31, who taught language arts at the Miramar high school, had the online exchange in September with a 19-year-old learning disabled female student, according to a Broward County School district investigative report.

Borzen, who had been at the school for four years, was removed from the classroom in October and resigned in late May, according to district records.

"Everyone wants to rape me except you," he told the student in a late night Facebook message. "How come when I said let's make out this summer, you didn't?"

In another message, he invites the student to his Jacuzzi telling her, "If you wanted it bad enough, you would get here." He also suggests a threesome between her and another girl, the report states.

Both Borzen and the student say the relationship never turned physical, and their only contact outside school was online, the report states. The student said she didn't take his notes seriously.

"I just know it's a joke, because he's a teacher," she told investigators. "He's married. He also has a child."

However, the exchange alarmed the student's mother, who saw the Facebook transcript and contacted school officials.

Principal Paul Fetscher said Monday he had been instructed not to comment, because the case was still under investigation by the state, which could revoke Borzen's license.

Borzen couldn't be reached by the Sun Sentinel for comment, despite several attempts by phone.

"It's inappropriate. There's no other way to explain it," Borzen told investigators.

He said the student was in her fifth year of high school, and when the conversation started in the summer of 2011, he didn't expect her to be back at Everglades High, according to the report. The student was in exceptional student education, a program that serves students with learning disabilities.
